The Bridge offers a new approach to combat substance craving and use.
This recently formed charity presents a creative workshop programme
using drama and psychodrama to understand and confront addiction in its
various forms and find solutions.

The project is divided
into two parts. The performance of commissioned scripts by professional
writers, followed by audience participation and a series of affordable
workshops open to the public and facilitated by highly qualified
therapists.

Our aim is to raise
awareness of the nature and consequences of addiction and provide
addicts, their partners and families and those who fear they have a
problem, a new source of help. We are also in the process of attracting
therapists, teachers, social workers and others who work in the caring
professions and need a deeper understanding of addiction and its
consequences.

The purpose of the
workshop is to challenge addiction by using the addict's untapped
creativity to accept and come to terms with, and then replace substance
craving. This new approach fills many gaps: Alcoholics Anonymous does
not suit everyone.
